“Our study demonstrated that osteophytes, medial meniscal extrusion and morphological articular cartilage changes in the medial femoral condyle of the knee joint can be reliably identified by ultrasound. As recently accuracy than traditional conventional radiography using MRI as the reference. Our findings are also supported by a study of Koski et al. who demonstrated that semi-quantitative ultrasound is more sensitive than radiography in the identification of osteophytes in the medial compartment of the knee joint15”.

“Our study demonstrated that osteophytes, medial meniscal extrusion and morphological articular cartilage changes in the medial femoral condyle of the knee joint can be reliably identified by ultrasound. As recently reported by Riecke et al. our results confirmed the ability of ultrasound to discern periarticular bone changes in knee OA13. Moreover, we showed that ultrasound is able to detect osteophytes with higher or comparable accuracy than traditional conventional radiography using MRI as the reference. Our findings are also supported by a study of Koski et al. who demonstrated that semi-quantitative ultrasound is more sensitive than radiography in the identification of osteophytes in the medial compartment of the knee joint15”.
